Chapter 261



Chloe hadn't gone to Greenpeace Estate. Instead, she went back to Sundance Heights. Even though she knew Ann wasn't her biological mother, she couldn't help but love that place. There, in that modest room on that small bed, she could actually fall asleep.

It was quite late when she arrived. Ann was already in bed but woke up to the sound of the door opening. She was surprised and delighted to see Chloe.

"Sorry, did I wake you?" Chloe asked.

Ann, trying to lighten the mood, replied, "Not at all! I wasn't asleep yet. Are you hungry? I have some snacks here that'd make a perfect midnight feast."

Chloe then noticed the dining table covered with a variety of dishes. Most of them looked untouched, and they were all the dishes Chloe had loved the last time Ann cooked for her. Chloe felt a swirl of emotions.
